High density storage assembly

Abstract

A high-density storage assembly having a casing, an engaging mechanism, and a recording medium machine; the casing has a receiving space, with a plurality of fixing portions disposed on a substrate at a bottom of the casing, the engaging mechanism has at least two supporting portions arranged in a side by side in a transverse width direction, each having a coupling portion and a supporting plate, with the coupling portions connected to the fixing portions of the substrate of the casing, respectively, and extended upward and obliquely to form the supporting plates. A containing space for movably placing and positioning the recording medium machine is formed between an abutting leaf spring and a limit plate which are disposed on a lower surface of the supporting plate of one of two adjacent said supporting portions and an upper surface of the supporting plate of another said supporting portion, respectively.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to high-density storage assembly and, more particularly, to a high-density storage assembly characterized in that engaging mechanisms positioned on a substrate of a casing are arranged in oblique arrays so that more recording medium machines are contained in the casing of limited height and space.[0003]2. Description of the Prior Art[0004]Given today's trend toward network-based cloud technology, computer server technology develops rapidly by leaps and bounds and changes rapidly, aiming at robust compute capability, high speed and compactness. To process voluminous data computation, computer servers require intensively numerous high-density recording medium machines, such as disk drives, hard disk drives, CD-ROM, and CD-RW, for storing data. However, a server case is movably held within a receiving space of every bay in a conventional rack server, and server units are connected to each othe...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The solution enables efficient and secure placement and removal of recording medium machines, reducing assembly time, minimizing damage risk during transport, and optimizing space usage, thereby enhancing maintenance efficiency and reducing material costs.

Problems solved by technology

However, some conventional recording medium machines are fixed in place and arranged side by side inside server cases by screws, and it is time-consuming for the screws to be aimed at and driven into screw holes, thereby lengthening the shutdown-maintenance duration greatly.

If there are plenty of components, such as interface cards, recording medium machines and power lines, inside the server cases, it will be inconvenient for a screwdriver to perform a screwing process inside the server cases, not to mention that the screws may get lost during the screwing process.

In the event of inappropriate size of the screws and performing the screwing process forcibly, the fixing holes of the recording medium machines will be damaged to the detriment of assembly and disassembly.

Some recording medium machines are fixed in place by leaf spring-based engagement; however, the recording medium machines are likely to get disconnected, fall off and thus get damaged when subjected to collisions or vibrations while the server cases are been transported.
